The case came to national attention around the same time as that of Ryan White in Indiana, and helped many young HIV-positive children attend schools throughout the country. Mark Hoyle died one year later, and a new elementary school was named in his honor.

Mark Gardiner Hoyle Elementary School was dedicated on August 16,1992

and opened for the 1992-1993 school year.

This school stands in tribute to and in memory of Mark Gardiner Hoyle.

Given by the citizens of Swansea, a town where compassion and understanding prevailed,

a town whose people can remember with pride that they cared.

Marks favorite saying was:
“A winner never quits and
a quitter never wins, it's never too late to rally.”
